Exploring the mutations and their effect could provide new insights into the underlying mechanism of fluconazole resistance. Erg11p_Threonine285Alanine (Erg11p_THR285ALA), Erg11p_Leucine321Phenylalanine (Erg11p_LEU321PHE) and Erg11p_Serine457Proline (Erg11p_SER457PRO) are three fluconazole-resistant suspected mutations reported in clinical isolates of <i>C. albicans</i>. Therefore, our study aims to investigate the role of these suspected mutations in fluconazole resistance using in-silico methods. Molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) analysis of apo-protein for 25ns (nanosecond) showed that suspected mutant proteins underwent slight conformational changes in the tertiary structure. Molecular docking with fluconazole followed by binding free energy analysis showed reduced non-bonded interactions with loss of heme interaction and the least binding affinity for Erg11p_SER457PRO mutation. MDS of suspected mutant proteins-fluconazole complexes for 50ns revealed that Erg11p_SER457PRO and Erg11p_LEU321PHE have clear differences in the interaction pattern and loss or reduced heme interaction compared to wild type Erg11p-fluconazole complex. MDS and binding free energy analysis of Erg11p_SER457PRO-fluconazole complex showed the least binding similar to verified mutation Erg11p_TYR447HIS-fluconazole complex. Taken together, our study concludes that suspected mutation Erg11p_THR285ALA may not have any role whereas Erg11p_LEU321PHE could have a moderate role. However, Erg11p_SER457PRO mutation has a strong possibility to play an active role in fluconazole resistance of <i>C. albicans</i>.</p>","PeriodicalId":19025,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Biology Research Communications","volume":"9 4","pages":"155-167"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7731972/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38734045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, overgrazing and overharvesting lead to a serious downturn in the number of trees. To characterize genetic diversity within and among 24 populations, represented by 240 argan trees, four combinations of SRAP primers and eight combinations of REMAP primers were used. A total of 338 REMAP and 146 SRAP markers were amplified with a polymorphism of 100%. The average polymorphism information content value was 0.20 and 0.17 for SRAP and REMAP markers, respectively. The analysis of molecular variance showed that 26% of the genetic variation was partitioned among populations. The coefficient of gene differentiation was 0.2875 and gene flow was 1.2391. The average parameter diversity was: observed number of alleles (Na)=0.729, effective number of alleles (Ne)=1.131, Shannon's information index (I)=1.143; Nei's gene diversity (H)=0.093 and Percentage of Polymorphic Loci=35.68. The STRUCTURE and principal coordinate analysis revealed that the <i>Argania spinosa</i> L. populations were aggregated into 2 genetic groups. To detect outlier, baysecan software was used and 21 were detected (7 under selection, 14 under balancing selection) presenting posterior probability higher than 0.79. The current results can be explored in the design of management programs and to comprehend the adaptation mechanism of Argan tree.</p>","PeriodicalId":19025,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Biology Research Communications","volume":"9 3","pages":"93-103"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7727765/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38707492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
